South East Region Qualifier for National Youth Epee & Sabre Competitions
Sunday 12th November 2006 .
Dear Fencer,
These details and entry form are long because
this has been found necessary for this event.
Please do read on and complete the entry form.
1. Venue: Sports Hall, Whitgift School,
Haling Park, Croydon, CR2 6YT
2. Report Times: Epee 9.30am, Sabre 1pm.
(Please note that this is a “close of reporting” time).
3. BFA* Cards: You must have your BFA card with you.
This is vital for your entry to the BYC Finals.
4. BYC+Finals: A minimum of four fencers in each event qualify for the British Youth Championships finals. I recommend that you read the BYC finals rules. It is expected that these will be available via the BFA website but meanwhile a copy is available on the SCFU website. Note that to claim a bye you must enter this qualifier AND inform the organiser of this qualifier that you are claiming your bye (you do not have to fence). Unclaimed byes may be forfeited.
5.If you need paper details for the BYC finals then please request them from the organiser of this event.
6. Referees: We will rely on clubs bringing referees. If coaches are reserved for coaching / chaperoning then please bring additional referees. Unless enough referees from clubs can volunteer, you will be asked to referee each other.
7. Kit: Please note all events will be electric. You must bring your kit in good working order and in a safe condition. The organiser reserves the right to refuse to allow a fencer to compete in kit he considers to be unsafe. Plastrons are mandatory. Breeches are mandatory for U16 & U18. Pockets must be closed.
8.Blade size 2 required for U12 and U14 (epee and sabre). Blade size 5 acceptable for U16 and U18.
9. Disclaimer: All fencers are reminded that they compete at their own risk. The organisers will take all reasonable care, but do not accept liability for loss or injury, howsoever caused. A parent or guardian must sign the entry form. If you object to photography then consult the organiser.
10.Any changes or announcements will be posted at
11.You may use the swimming pool. Your entry fee does not include cleaning of the sports hall; we are relying on no one spilling any food or drink. Please keep the floor clean.
12.Boxes (central judging apparatus): We may rely on clubs bringing boxes. Please let the organiser know how many boxes your club can send.
13. You may only enter one regions’ qualifier for each BYC event. If you live and fence in multiple regions then only enter a category (eg U14B epee) once per season.
I hope we will have a great day of fencing and that many South East fencers will qualify for the BYC Finals on 17th-18th February 2007 (see BFA or SCFU Web site for details).
Yours,
Ian de Whalley on behalf of Keith Smith
